Stable Nightly

I have been off of CM7 for a week or so now. I miss the nightly updates and was wondering what's the most stable recent nightly? I want to get back in the game. Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jed Dignazio:
Thats an ADW feature. Just slide up on the dock and it will come back. Slide down on just the dock to dissapear. I think there is an option to lock the dock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] n0g0:
Yes. Exactly what I'm experiencing. I moved all apps back to the phone (which DID cut back on MMC --> DropBox and Evernote being the major offenders), and now Sensor in Spare Parts seems to correspond to the MMC time. When I click on Sensor, it shows Gallery as the app using it... except I haven't used the Gallery app. Not sure what that means, doing some forum searching to get insight :)

uber was there any change at all for nightly 6? bothers me not to know even though i'm not flashing. i love anal... i mean i'm anal
[Epic 4G Android Development] UberPinguin:
No. We're working on a couple of things right now, but they did not get committed before the nightly was built.

There is a problem with github syncing right now, so the cluster that compiles the nightlies isn't getting the shiny fresh code that we're pushing anyway. Nightlies are more suspect than usual until this is resolved.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rprockey:
Thanks UberPinguin, I did see that after posting, considered an edit, but my advice to those asking remains, stick to the release candidate, there's nothing new in the nightly. Nothing new except that problem you just highlighted. :)

Thanks again, I really appreciate the work that you and the dev team are doing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Don't trust nightlies after #5 until told otherwise.

Public Service Announcement lol. But seriously, Uber has warned you all already, so please read and take that into account.

BTW I love how i get off the site for 5 minutes and its like 3 pages ahead where i was??? man the support is amazing and progression of CM7.

Uber- did you get all you could from the crespo builds? I've seen that the supersonic and the legendary touch 4g builds have been used.

probably won't flash another nightly for a while anyway, unless we get surprised with a kernel that works with the dock. not gonna hold my breath though. want to really test the battery life and flashing every few hours isnt' helping
[Epic 4G Android Development] djmeph:
I don't know the answer to this question, but I know that it works if you upgrade your Baseband before you flash CM7 from stock Froyo. Not sure if you can do it after, but I don't think it would boot either.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
What are you talking about? The Supersonic is the EVO 4G, HTC based, nothing like us. And the Epic 4G Touch uses a toshiba WiMAx chip.
[Epic 4G Android Development] UberPinguin:
I have no idea what to make of this.

What did you see the Supersonic and Legendary Touch 4G builds used for? They weren't used in EpicMTD.

The proprietary portion of the WiMAX stack came from the Google-hosted/distributed files for the Crespo4G. They were not pulled from a build or a ROM. The exception is that 3 firmware bins came from the Epic's EI22 release because Crespo4G's firmware was incompatible.

Excellent job!! You answered my wishes since the roaming indicator works now. Still have to toggle the airplane mode after using roam control since I couldn't get the mobile network settings to force roam. No biggie there at least it works. Smiling ear to ear over here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] steveo314:
I know what the supersonic is. My wife has it. I saw a post on this thread that said the evo 4g files were tested out on the toggle but it wasn't working.

[Epic 4G Android Development] steveo314:
Well it looks like there is an idiot a couple pages back. I got out of class at 10pm and had 12 pages to catch up on and I skimmed that HTC and GS2 items were being used on this build.

Sent from my AOSP Epic 4G
[Epic 4G Android Development] UberPinguin:
I think perhaps you misunderstood. The WiMAX toggle widget in CM7 depends on some HTC framework pieces that are not present and would not be functional on the Epic or any Samsung phone.

We are not using any HTC components.
[Epic 4G Android Development] steveo314:
That's why you have to buy the 4G toggle from the market on the NS4G for its CM7 unless they figured it out.

Sent from my AOSP Epic 4G
[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
I remember finding some code to toggle the 4g on the epic as I wanted to make my own widget but never got around to it. Would anyone be interested if I can find it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] steveo314:
It would probably be a benefit because the 4G toggle in the pulldown will never work on the Epic.

Anyone else notice that Hotspot (3G) runs hotter than on EI22 ROM?

I ran it for about 30 minutes and the back of the phone was much hotter than I had ever felt before. On EI22, I could run it for a few hours and it would only get warm to touch, and never this hot. This was running on battery. Is the Aries driver setting it to a higher power and, if so, anyway to turn it down?
[Epic 4G Android Development] kobby2k6:
Am i the only one have issues with titanium backup restoring and freezing apps after flashing this rom?...when i freeze an app, the app still works and when i press restore for an app, it tries to but never finishes...i went back to the first cm7 rco kang and everything is working fine again with titanium backup...is anyone else having this issue?..

Experiencing Poor Battery Life on CM7? This could be why...

CONFIRMED: It's definitely the Gallery Sensor Bug!

Go here to see if the Gallery is causing your battery drain:

If you just want the shortcut answer, try nightly 57

time to swap out with quickpic again...

i hate that about adw!!! it's the only thing i don't like about it, but i have it set up to open/close the dock bar with a doubletap on the screen since i couldn't find the setting to lock it open...

In ADW settings: Settings / General Behavior / Gestures

Then you can set 'swipe up' or 'swipe down' actions.

Whoa, slow down - that was my asshole sarcasm. Nightly 27 is the most recent (and I haven't had any problems with it so far)

Sorry for snapping so quick. I did read back 3-4 pages and there were only 1 or two posts with any real mention of issues with the last two nightly releases. I've been around a while(even though I dont post much) and I get the whole "reading" thing, as well as the "search before you ask" thing as well. I'm on Nightly 7 and that is quite a few releases ago.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] n0g0:
Yep. Froze Gallery in Titanium, installed QuickPic, no more Sensor battery drain.

HUGE DIFFERENCE.

Phone now seems to be asleep almost entire time screen is off.

For anyone else:

QuickPic on Android Market (Free Gallery Replacement)
[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
In general what I do is just to go to the end of the thread, and if there aren't 5 people complaining/confirming about all the crap the latest nightly broke, I assume it's "stable".

No one is actually going to post "Nightly 35 has no issues!!!" because that's unknowable.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Trickee360:
I ran the test, froze Gallery, and the problem persists. No sleeping and the sensor reading for Android System is still jacked way up. In fact, before I rebooted to check again, I found Sonic 4 Ep 1 on the sensor usage list for a lot more time than I was actually playing it, which makes me think maybe there's a problem with the sensor in general, perhaps?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Specialksg1:
Edit: Quoted the wrong post ... but for those wondering what's going in the cm7 nightlies ...

At this point you just gotta try to keep up with the daily chatter about the nightly builds. For me, everything works perfectly on nightly 27, but everybody uses their phones differently, so it might suck big donkey **** if you have vpn or bt issues ... my advice, get the most recent and give it a shot. If you have issues, do some searching and see what people say about it. If you have further issues, check out the cm7 tips and tricks thread in the general section, ask some questions specific to your issue with as much detail as you can and people are usually pretty responsive. Good luck and god speed! :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
Sure, but if you're just jumping into this and wondering "which nightly" my point was two fold.

1) Most of us aren't really comparing them, per se. These aren't "options", where they're testing different combinations on us, they're a progression. Sure, nightly 17 might have more working than nightly 29, but that almost certainly just means something was accidentally broken in 29, and you should install 28.

2) You're not going to find any consensus that "21 is the best" because of item 1, and because that's not really what's going on here. The answer to "which one should I install" is always "the latest one", unless there's a clear reason not to.

So as I said, when in doubt go to the last few pages, and if 29 is the latest, and there are no "Nightly 29 breaks phone calls", "No GPS on 29", "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T INSTALL 29!!!" posts, assume it's good (enough) to go.

There are going to be problems of course, and probably some non trivial ones, cause if not it would be an RC/official release. These aren't for everyone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] n0g0:
Not having that problem... now that I removed Gallery, all I see Spare Parts>Battery History>Sensor Usage is Android System and Dialer... and when I click on Android System it matches almost exactly the time for Dialer.

You might want to try booting into CWM, resetting your battery stats, reboot CM7 (running no apps at all), flip through your home screen for about 10 seconds. Then let the phone sit for five minutes. Check Spare Parts>Battery History>Sensor Usage - if it's pretty accurate, then your rotation sensor is fine... just maybe apps you're using aren't jiving.

In that case, you can always contact the App Dev, or just reboot the phone after using an offending app :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] kobby2k6:
For all users having wake lock issues, I sort of have a solution. I use an app called "autostarts" in the market, it allows you to stop apps from starting up randomly (like google apps, facebook, freemium apps and rogue apps)...make sure that you disable "after startup" and "before startup" to stop apps from starting up...android market will always run in the background for some reason .. and another thing to disable in autostarts is "connectivity change". which means that if you go from 3g to wifi or backwards, some apps might start up...I have awesome battery thanks to "autostarts" and the cm7 permission management...I usually have 130+ ram when using poweramp thanks to these programs..I have no wake lock issues and awesome battery life

p.s. I also hold the "back" button to completely close apps..Settings>applications>developement > and check "stop app via long-press"....so apps don't run in the background...hope this helps some folks
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trickee360:
But if Android System is the culprit, doesn't that negate my ability to contact the dev? Actually, you could say I'm doing that right now, sort of. XD Besides, isn't clearing battery stats in CWM a placebo as confirmed by Android dev on Google+? I think she said it was the same as charging the phone and unplugging it.

I'm not trying to be disrespectful, btw. If I sound rude I don't mean to and it's probably because this damn sensor is raining on my CM parade!
[Epic 4G Android Development] CapsLockKey:
ADW Settings > UI Settings > Dockbar

Uncheck it.

It's not the main dock that is disappearing, it's some hidden shortcut dockbar (with no shortcuts on it by default) that is being pulled up which is why swiping up makes your main dock disappear and swiping down brings it back. Turn that off and you won't have your dock disappear anymore.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
Bypassing the whole "the whole point of ram is to speed things up by actually using it" conversation, you have to use caution when doing stuff like this. It's possible to have an app go rogue on you, but for the most part the "running" apps, if they're doing anything, might be doing something you want (and specifically told it to do.)

It's your phone, but you can do as much harm as good when you start playing with things like this.

If you don't want, say, the Listen app to check for new podcasts every 2 hours, and then download the new ones when you get on wifi, or start charging, then don't set up the Listen app to do that. If you don't want the facebook app updating, then don't have it updating. And so on.

but you can't play videos from the camera app after freezing the gallery...i have quickpic but it can't play camera videos in the camera app (is that normal?)...i see pictures fine in the camera app after freezing the gallery app.

Thought I'd see if I'm experiencing this issue...yep!

Check sensor usage in SpareParts - all Android System. Open gallery, monkey about for a minute, close gallery. Turn off screen and check back in 30 minutes. Result - over 30 mins of sensor usage by Gallery. Clearly it has issues.

Going to take a look at QuickPic.

Is this issue (which I admit to knowing nothing about) something solvable by CM7 developers - AKA worth reporting officially?

So anxious for cm9 to get released, sorry had to release. I read earlier about permissions management; I checked it but don't know how to control it. Is there anything else I need to do to adjust the settings or is it preset?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Once you enable the setting you then go into Applications/any tab you want. And go tap an app and go to see all for the permissions. You can disable an App from connecting to the internet, or anything else, it may break app functionality or it may not. It's something you've got to test out.

He shouldn't have to reflash gapps if he didn't wipe, but doing so now will fix.

I also have the camera bug. First picture never takes. Also the ICS rotation breaks all video viewing if you rotate (black screen). Not sure why I'm posting that here honestly as I believe that rotation was added to cm itself and not Epic specific.

The latest nightly might have addressed the issue. I'm not sure though.

However opening and closing the camera app will allow you to view video. Also, setting animations under display settings to some animations will fix it as well. (Losing most animations).
